Which of the above statements is/are correct?
✅ Correct Answer: B
🎯 Quick Answer:
Statements 2 and 3 are correct. Jainulabdeens inborn wisdom transcended his lack of formal education.Structural Breakdown: Kalam juxtaposes two societal disadvantages (lack of formal education, lack of essential wealth) against two immense internal assets (great innate wisdom, true generosity of spirit). Historical/Related Context: In early 20th century rural India, formal western education was scarce.
Moral and societal leadership often fell to individuals who possessed deep experiential and scriptural wisdom rather than university degrees.
Causal Reasoning: Statement 1 is totally incorrect.
Kalam makes the exact opposite point: despite having neither much formal education nor much wealth, his father possessed immense wisdom, proving that formal schooling is not a prerequisite for spiritual depth.
